Investigators said it appears the driver was going too fast and crashed. Authorities said a passenger in the vehicle died at the scene. The driver was rushed to a hospital, but died a short time later.

Police said that an officer had tried to stop the car earlier, but the driver took off. There was not a chase underway at the time of the crash.
